Well, thread title said SPOILER but in case you didn't see it, here's spoiler space========================We knew Rey had to take time off because of the injury but Albert? And he jobbed to him too? The Guerreros couldn't have done it and left him his dignity?

Heyman's good but he's not that good. I'll have many sleepless nights waiting in anticipation for Rey to come back and get his revenge on Albert!!!

So either Angle beats Big Show and Lesnar can chase Angle to Mania or Lesnar costs Angle the match by mistake starting their problems. I'm leaning towards Lesnar costing Angle the match by mistake then regaining the title at the Rumble.

Outside of the Main Event, it looks like a bad episode of Velocity.

I was at the show. It really did seem like an overdone version of Velocity.

But the main event did kinda rule.

But on a good note, Guido did a dark match against some nameless jobber. He still looked pretty good in the ring.

I would like to congatulate Al Snow on his contact with La-Z-Boy. Because we all know Al doesn't sell chairs. - Mick Foley

GREAT BOOKING BY PAUL!!because nobody cares about Albert nobody will expect/want a feud between Rey and Albert when Rey returns..Thus Rey doesn't have to bother wanting revenge and go after someone who IS worth it.

Man..what a genius that man is.

Or, they have Edge seek revenge on Albert, setting up a PPV match between the two. I guess since JR was boo'ed on Monday Night, they had to make it up to him by pushing a by Gawd Hoss.

The right booking decision in Angle/Show depends on one thing: Where Angle stands on leaving to train for the Olympics.

If Angle's going to leave, give him the title now, have him go off on a streak of obnoxiousness, and then have him job it to Brock at Wrestlemania. Brock can then injure Angle at Wrestlemania and Angle will have his out to go train. If Angle's going to stay, then it's best to have Brock cost Angle the match (only acceptable justification: Brock wanted to take the title back from Show, not Angle), give Brock the title back at the Rumble and set up the match for Wrestlemania (where it could go either way).

For personal reasons (I hate the Show), I desperately want Angle to win at Armageddon, and I'd love to see Paulie play mind games with Brock for months leading up to Brock reclaiming the title at Wrestlemania, but turning Angle heel again for a program with Brock after programming him as a face here doesn't make sense. But again, they have to get the title off Show as soon as possible.

What a conundrum... it's the most confusing situation the WWF's been in with its title booking ever since Austin/Angle at Summerslam last year...

Lesnar and Show go at it at the Rumble one-on-one in a grudge match. Brock goes over clean via F5. Then have whoever won the rumble put up their number one contendership on the line and face Brock at No Way Out. And whose going to be that man?

Eddie, of course.

MEANWHILE....

Angle stays heel all the way to Wrestlemania. Faces a face Lesnar in a golden match.

They are going to feed Angel to Big Show, so he can get his knee scoped and take some time off to heal and be with his wife and kid. I hate the booking anymore, even Smackdown is just getting stupid. Who the hell sees Albert as a threat anyway and when was the last time Albert put on a decent match without a partner anyway? God Lord, what the hell are they thinking? I

guess Benoit cut an awesome promo about scarificing everything and he is the second person jobbed out, nice. real nice. I wish they would stop it cutting promos like that for guys that have no chance of winning the title that night, it makes everyone look stupid. By the way, can't wait for Edge/Albert and whoever is going to tag with him to fight Guerros.

A Fan- So at Armaggedon, we get HHH and Big Show going over. great, just great.

Originally posted by Spaceman SpiffALbert? Jamie Knoble should have been the one to take out Rey, to set up a sweet Rey/Knoble feud for when Rey returns.

Instead, we get Albert which leads to nothing when Rey returns. Brilliant.

As brilliant as dropping Knoble's losing streak, thus removing the reason to bring in Cousin Nunzio and killing a storyline for a guy who everyone was complaining had none when he was Crusierweight champ, just to set up a feud a month from now when Rey comes back?

They can totally set up a Knoble/Rey feud after Rey's back from surgery without screwing up one of the few not screwed up storylines they have going. AND if Albert gets somehow over while Rey's gone, or even if he doesn't, Rey can get a giant killer win over him when he returns.

Don't get me wrong Spiff, I'd like to see a Rey/Knoble feud too, but its not gonna work right now without messing up a perfectly good storyline thats hopefully gonna bring in Little Guido. No ones gonna get hurt by them giving someone else shot at the midcard for a little while, and I've got no problem with it being Albert: he's routinely been beating up smaller guys on Velocity, and the back hair spots and jokes they've been doing with him will work with a wise ass like Edge as the guy he feuds with, so this makes sense to me at least.

True about Benoit jobbing, but it looks like all the people in the 4 way cut a match. Besides if Benoit got screwed by Eddie, it can only mean good things in the future.

Knoble doesn't have to win the match, or even be involved in the match. They have/had a couple options: wait 1 week and have Knoble & Nunzio injure Rey (either in a match or a run-in), or have Knoble job to Rey (instead of Rey to Albert) only to have Knoble injure Rey post-match. That way, Rey comes back seeking revenge on Knoble, who's back on the winning track thanks to Nunzio/Guido.

Or, if you don't want to start a Rey/Knoble program yet, replace Albert with Matt Hardy. I'd much rather see Mattitude/Edge than Albert/Edge. Besides, when Rey gets back, he won't feud w/ Albert. If anything, he'll get the win back in 1 match & be done w/ it, essentially wasting the injury angle.

and the back hair spots and jokes they've been doing with him will work with a wise ass like Edge as the guy he feuds with

I've just about had enough of wise-ass Edge. If they want to make him a ME player, they've got to fet him over as a serious wrestler. Sure, being a wise-ass is what got him over, but he's got to go beyond that to take the next step.

Originally posted by Santa SangreLets say Angle does go over here due to Brockterfernce. So we get that Brock/Show buildup for Rumble and Angle defending against Eddie or Benoit. Works for me.

You're being awfully optimistic. It'll be something like Angle defending versus the newly elevated-by-Edge Albert. Hey, if you asked anyone if Big Show would be champ (much less main eventing) a couple months ago, everyone would have given it about the same chances as Albert :>

"oh no! Someone we don't like is getting pushed! Let's bitch about it!"

Come on, guys, Albert, is actually pretty good for a big guy. If they put him in a better outfit and actually put him over a few people-which they seem ready to do-he could totally work. Remember the matches he had with Kane last year? And, as an avid Velocity watcher, I can also tell you he's managed to wring decent matches out of nearly every opponent, even MARK FREAKIN' HENRY. What more do you want from a big guy?

I just hate that they do these out of nowhere pushes. It shows a total lack of planning. It was just a couple weeks ago that Albert can't beat Funaki but now he can beat Rey Mysterio? Now he's a threat to Edge? It hurts the top guys when some jobber to the stars comes out of nowhere with no build up and takes them out. Give him a few weeks/months of credibility first.

How about they ARE building Albert's credibility by having him injure Rey. Then Edge will get mad because his tag partner has been put out. Consequently, he goes after Albert seeking revenge. This is not hotshotting. It's a thought out angle that gives one guy time off and another heat for putting him out. Booking 101.

Rey's so well damn loved by everyone that i cant really see this hurting him at all.

This way they can try out Albert in a feud with one of the top guys on SD right now. If he doesnt work out, bak to velocity for the hairy prince. If it does, there's another decent mid-carder to play around with.

We're always ragging on the WWE for not giving other guys a chance to get over, so lets not slam them when they try just cos its someone you dont particularly like.
